Lunyu XI. 25. (292)

How preliminary study is necessary to the exercise of government:– a reproof of Tsze-lû.
1. Tsze-lû got Tsze-kâo appointed governor of Pî.
2. The Master said, "You are injuring a man's son."
3. Tsze-lû said, "There are (there) common people and officers; there are the altars of the spirits of the land and grain. Why must one read books before he can be considered to have learned?"
4. The Master said, "It is on this account that I hate your glib-tongued people."

Legge XI.24.

On the occasion Tzu-lu made Tzu-kao the prefect of Pi, the Master said, 'He is ruining another man's son.'
Tzu-lu said, 'There are the common people and one's fellow men, and there are the altars to the gods of earth and grain. Why must one have to read books before one is said to learn?'
The Master said, 'It is for this reason that I dislike men who are plausible.'
